Everyone who posted their app here has fantastic stats. That said, it looks like there are far fewer apps than for the March board, at least on this forum and the Navy OCS portal.
Yeah, it seems like there are fewer applicants by the responses so far...maybe that will ultimately mean higher selection rate (hopefully)? Maybe since March applicant pool was so ridiculously huge because everyone got pushed over and Feb was cancelled, the number of people eligible to apply may just be smaller (they can only reapply in May at the earliest if they were non-selects for March since they missed April cutoffs).
Or there could just be a ridiculous amount of lurking prospective officers :icon_tong
And yeah, I can see no rhyme or reason to who has been accepted/rejected for a slot thus far, seems completely random. Makes me feel not so bad about having a lower GPA than I would like.

I took the paper version with the Marine Corps, I just wondered if the electronic version is much different. I'd like to take a crack at the electronic version because all my securities licenses were electronic tests, little more familiar platform. You didn't happen to take both did you?

Hey jtdees,
You are the first person that I have heard from the March board that is in the same situation I am with being tabled for SWO. Very weird huh? Kind of like a darn I didnt get pro-rec'd but whew I didn't get non-select. Hopefully it means they want to hire us in April! I have my fingers crossed for both of us! I really want to be a Naval officer! Seems like April is going to be an extremely light board after the massive number of apps in March... Good luck with MEPS - it's... an experience alright.

Hey I took the paper version... took me all three times.. :banghead_ which is why I couldn't get my app in until Feb. But I finally got that 50+ score. Very frustrating test because the 3 versions are all pretty different in difficulty.
I really don't see that other than getting scores instantly the comp version would have any benefit over the paper. With the paper version you can go back and work on problems you skipped initially (in the same test) or look over your work and correct. I've taken A LOT of tests in my life and I would take that one on paper any day even though it means you wait a week for the score. Just my op

znibbor, do you think you could let me take a look at a few of the questions you asked during your interview? I am about to conduct mine in a few days and have been trying to field as many as possible to make sure I don't miss anything.
Questions I asked? Was I supposed to prepare questions?!
He asked me a lot about myself. I had just spent almost 9 hours at MEPS so I was pretty exhausted and feel like I rambled on and on. I talked about why I want to be in the Navy (literally said "Because the ships look awesome" in addition to other things, of course.), my family military history, what my dreams are outside of the Navy, wanting a commission vs. wanting a specific community. He did ask me what I think leadership is and how I would respond in certain situations. I said without being in the situation I couldn't give a genuine response, and he seemed to think this was the most appropriate response.
I don't know that he had prepared a lot of questions either. The interview lasted about 60 minutes and I asked a lot of questions which lead to sea stories. It was a great experience overall. If you have more specific questions, please let me know.

I guess my only question was how you submitted your interview to your OR to have it included in your package. I am a non-prior but I think I am going to do an interview. I have been trying to contact some prior service guys to see exactly how they went about doing this.
It's not required, but I felt I would just get it out of the way.
